Boone, Sr. - 767-4087 Coordinator/PR Director Jacqueline King started Black Women Empowered in November of 2011 after watching Black Girls Rock on BET, and watching all of the excitenrient from vari ous women on Facebook, God dropped in in her spirit, what happens after days and months pass, do Black Girls still Rock? Out of this Black Women Empowered, the online group was formed with approxi mately two hundred women. At that time, the sole purpose of the group was to get women to feel good about themselves, love and or like each other and support the communities that they work and live in. As the group grew, it appeared that many women in the group had busi nesses and events that they wanted to share. BWE then formed sub-groups in which the ladies can, promote their busi nesses, follow each other on twitter, like each other's fan pages, promote non BWE related events, and get support for stay ing fit and so much more. While we do support women of every race and back ground, we are and always will be "Black Women Empowered" [continuted on page 11 ] As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you think. ~ Toni Morrison - Jamie Foxx wants celebs to get active, respect their elders By Tracy Scott Jamie Foxx's comments during the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington have some questioning whether the Djan go star has a bone to pick with the Carters. While Jay-Z and Beyonce have engaged in a back-and-forth disagreement with Flarry Belafonte who accused the couple of not doing enough to give back, Jamie said he and his peers need to pay homage to those, like Flarry, who paved the way. "Young folks, let's have some respect to our elders," said Jamie who told the story of when he first Flarry during an Image Awards ceremony and was challenged to become more involved in community ac tivism. Jamie Foxx's comments during the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington have some questioning whether the Djan go star has a bone to pick with the Carters. While Jay-Z and Beyonce have engaged in a back-and-forth disagreement with Flarry Belafonte who accused the couple of not doing enough to give back, Jamie said he and his peers need to pay homage to those, like Flarry, who paved the way. "Young folks, let's have some respect to our elders," said Jamie who told the story of when he first Harry during an Image Awards ceremony and was challenged to become more involved in community ac tivism. "Harry Belafonte saw me at the Image Awards and he asked me, 'What am I will ing to do?"'Jamie recalled. "Everybody my age and all the entertainers, it's time for us to stand-up now and renew this dream. I was affected by the Trayvon Martin situ ation. I was affected by New Town. I was affected by Sandy Hook. I'm affected by those things, so it's time for us now to pick up." Though he didn't criticize others'social ac tivism or philanthropy, Jamie called out a few celebrities by name, including Jay-Z, and urged them to become the next gen-, eration of politically active entertainers. "What we need to do now is the young folks pick it up now, so that when we're 87 years old talking to the other young folks, we can say, it was me. Will Smith, Jay-Z, Kanye, Alicia Keys, Kerry Washington, the list goes on and on," he said. Despite their disagreement with Harry, Jay- Z and Beyonce have both contributed time and money to many organizations and the couple attended a Trayvon Martin rally in New York shortly after the George Zimmer man verdict was announced. Jamie didn't speak directly to what he would do to help keep Martin Luther King's dream alive, but he's also been very ac tive in supporting the Justice for Trayvon movement, and he hinted that there's more to come. "50 years ago he had a dream. I just hope I'm doing my part to make it reality," Jamie tweeted. "Let's continue to step up #TO- GETHER."
